Gold digger's accomplishments

On more than one occasion I've heard of people talk about their accomplishments. Brag is a more appropriate definition, though.

It's all about the big house they live in, the luxury car they drive, the designer clothes they wear, the exotic trips they take, the four-star restaurants they eat at, and so on. The #blessed hashtags basically write themselves on social media.

The thing is, none of this would've happened if they weren't dating (or married) someone with a lot more money then they have.

All of these people mentioned in the generalist of terms has a richer partner is the one who pays for everything. True, when it comes to partnerships, one person usually makes more than the other; it's never a marriage of equals. But, when one person makes 4x the income of the other, it's another story. Inevitably, you'll hear the - defensive - story of when the couple who went out to dinner and less affluent one paid the tab. That's a tiny drop in very large bucket, to be honest.

Of course, not everyone is like that. Some happened to date/marry another person who has money. Others, make it a goal to date/marry another person who has money. Who knew that being a gold digger with an agenda is an accomplishment?
